-Werror is basically saying that it is not safe to ship code which |
| 12 |
produces warnings. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I personally think that if an upstream says that no warnings must be |
| 15 |
produced by the code, and a developer should look at them before |
| 16 |
declaring any warnings safe, then that is best followed. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
However this causes a heavy maintenance burden and will frequently break |
| 19 |
compilation, so the majority opinion is to remove -Werror from compiler |
| 20 |
flags. |
